PloneSoftwareCenter/PyPI/distutils/eggs

Hello fellas,

I've implemented part of the PyPI API, specifically the 'register'
command from standard distutils and the 'file_upload' command,
introduced by 'setuptools'.

My goal with this is to be able to register new releases of products
from the command line, using a standard distutils setup.py file.

As a side-effect, if we start using 'setuptools' we get a step closer
from building proper 'eggs'. Which happen to be supported in Zope 2
already by using the 'Basket' product.

I think we might need to make some minor extensions to distutils to
more easily handle 'products'. Or maybe not.

I've added some TODO items to the bottom of:

http://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/PloneSoftwareCenter/branches/pypi-api-support/TODO.txt

Specifically, I think we need to reuse the Trove categorization
instead of 'rolling our own'. That's one of the things that is missing
right now as it would need some thought about migration of existing
PSC instances.

I've added a sample setup.py file to the Marshall product:

http://svn.plone.org/svn/archetypes/Marshall/trunk/setup.py

I have successfully registered and uploaded a package using that
setup.py file to a local PSC instance with the steps described on
TODO.txt.

Unfortunately, I'm going out on vacation this week, back on Feb 6, so
if anyone wants to check it out and give some thought, I would be
happy to discuss and helping implementing new features when I get
back.

heading-to-beach-ly-your's,
